RFID Lets Parents Tag, Release Kids At Parks
A new RFID-and-kiosk system called SafeTzone lets overprotective parents TAG AND RELEASE their children at amusement parks. The system also serves as an on-site debit card, so parents can give their kids money without, you know, giving them money. Here's how it works: Each member of the family gets a smart card attached to a wrist band. Parents use their credit card to determine how much money is loaded onto each cards. Then the kids are set free. Sensors all over the park track everyone at all times. When any member of the family swipes their card, they're showed the current location of all other family members.

It still doesn't solve the problem... Just now it's, "oh no! I don't see Sally on the map anywhere." instead of "Have you seen Sally?"
tagging children does not look to be a good option.
RFID is frightening stuff. Check out VeriChip's web site. They are advertising "solutions" for implanted chips already.
Imagine visiting Disneyland in 2050. All these 'free to go' kids going around and parents only worrying about the batteries of their wrist band, because they have used it so often lately!
Any parents who want to use this device is giving away their own responsible as parents. Get a life!
This is a first step to the VeriChip implant. You can read find more stories about this on www.zombiewire.com
obviously real estate doesnt have children, i have 3 and i wish they had that when they were smaller, they may be out of sight but you always know where they are. If you have ever been frantic at an amusment park because your child has slipped out of sight you would understand what a comfort it would be to be able to simply look at a map to see where they are.
Aren't RFID tags activated by what amounts to a microwave transmission? If you have a long distance microwave transmitter capable of remotely powering up a digital circuit and transmitter randomly located on someone's wrist, how much microwave energy does that take? How safe is it?
What's to prevent some sicko from grabbing the kids and taking them outside the park? Or if the kids wander outside the park confines? These parks are not hard to leave. You just walk out the front gates. The RFID is useless then.
These are active beacon RFID tags in 900Mhz band and use an internal lithium battery to supply power. They are used to determine which parking spot a shipping container is in at a large yard. I've installed a similar system for a huge logistics company.
It is alarming that parents are so reluctant to take responsibility for their children. Maybe they should chip the parents so they can imprison you for child endangermend and confiscate your child when they walk more than 6 feet from your chip.
How are you supposed to control what your kiddies spend that debit account on? You give them $25 bucks which is barely enough for a hotdog at Disneyland and they'll go and buy churros or a toy instead.
The technology isn't evil. Just like guns, it's all in the hands of the operator. Don't let the government give you a chip and don't let them get your guns. PERIOD.
welcome to slavery.

This is not a "left wing vs. right wing" issue. This is a "freedom vs. tryranny" issue.

So I have to take my mom to school now? No way. That's really really really stupid.
OK, So, Parents get used to looking at board for their kids. Some sicko knows this system, takes the kid, cuts the thing of their arm, leaves it in the park, board shows kid still in the park, Hours pass.
Sorry I will trust my eyes. PERIOD.
This is a back-up to using your own eyes. Children can slip away very fast.Those of you who don not have children have NO idea how hard this can be.
Eyes and direct contact are primary. This is a great secondary plan, for those unanticipated times
I think Elizabeth Smart's parents had wished their little girl had an RFID implanted in her shoes, as well as every sought after missing person. I would have no problem planting an RFID in my 6 year old son's backpack, or shoes.
